Was going down the road and my gauges flat lined on me. I killed it and restarted, then they went back to working fine.

Anybody ever experience this?

Good to hear I am not the only one. No more issues? I just knew I had the dreaded gauge failures all at once.

Need to check your ground wire.

mine never had another issue. Although I do have 3 or 4 complete extra sets of the OEM gauges I purchased several years ago. Hope I never need to use them but good insurance policy.

One gauge (at a time) is the gauge, but all gauges is probably the battery. The normal power up sequence is done at key on so if they all disappeared after power on I would expect the controller shut down due to low voltage. Could also be a ground connection.

Just curious, do you have Jay's "surge protection" installed ?
